The last title in the Paper Mario series was Wii's Super Paper Mario some years ago, and fans have been clamouring for another entry ever since. Well, those same fans are about to be made very happy as Paper Mario is confirmed for 3DS with these first screenshots.
Although the flat graphical style may not spring immediately to mind when you think of games that would benefit from 3D, the extra depth in the composition of scenes could give the game a pop-up book style.
Check out the gallery below and keep coming back as we'll be keeping you updated on more upcoming 3DS titles through the night.

YESSSS! It's an RPG! Thank you Nintendo!!!
Looks brilliant!
A Chomp as a Partner?
The 3DS and all of it's games seem like a dream to me, a beutiful, wonderful dream.
does anyone else think that the 3DS has one of the single greatest initial line-ups in history?
@JumpMad: I'll call him Munchie.
Do want.
FINALLY! A true Paper Mario game. Looks like I'll be getting a 3DS then.
I bet it will come out on launch day of 3DS!!!
everybody buy nintendo stock so you'll have enough money to buy all these games.
@Pj: We can dream....
Turn based? Fair enough, I don't have enough money for all these games
@pixelman: I guess VGM must be enraged right now.
June 15th, 2010. The day Nintendo became God.
Paper Mario = EPIC Excitement.
Super paper mario was actually my favourite but the other two were great games too and this also looks like it will be a great game.
Nintendo, this is the bacon grease in my winter fire. Thank you so much... best E3 ever.
I LOVE NINTENDO.
Hooray for new Paper Mario!
I'm actually very curious as to how the 3D will work.
I really can't wait for this!
We're back to RPGs!
w00t!! Paper Mario!!
Wait...is this the "new Mario game" Martinet was talking about in that tweet? I sure hope not, 'cause I'm still holding out for a Yoshi's Island 3DS...
Hmm...they announced quite a few Mario games there, actually. Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Sports Mix...they could add one more to the list. Perhaps it will be announced at a smaller, more exclusive event together with Pikmin 3?
Too bad my time machine isn't finished yet. Paper Mario is my favorite game. EVER. PERIOD. That's probably only because it's the first RPG I ever played, but whatever. It's still awesome. And even though Super Paper Mario was great, I'm elated to see that this is an RPG. I have officially bought my boarding ticket for the 3DS's bandwagon.
This is great. I LOVED Super Paper Mario. I guess I'll have to buy a 3DS now there is enough games to make a purchase.
@odd69: Actually, this is based on the classic battle system play mechanic. Super Paper Mario ditched the turn-based battle system in favor of old-school platforming action. So it is more of a hybrid RPG/platformer. While it played brilliantly, there are still fans who hanker for another installment using classic RPG elements. I think the pop-up 3D comic book effect will be awesome
A pop-up book effect would be awesome.
Nintendo have hit the absolute precise center of the bulls eye this E3.
I can imagine this looking great on the 3ds. A handheld Paper Mario seems logical. I only got the first PM recently on vc, so I might have to quickly finish that and the sequel.
Perfect game for 3DS...Woohoo!!!
Well, that almost does. Just not quite. Add "andchucknorrisandzuesareawesome" and you've about got it.
Supercalafragilisticexpialadociousandchucknorrisandzuesareawesome.
Tag-team working! high-five
How much blood would I need to sell to get a 3DS and all the great titles for it?
Awesome, a Paper Mario thats an RPG!!!!
... how many more must buys will the 3ds have on launch date! My blood is pumping at the speed of win!
i want new species or people like party (like geno or mallow) and no the always goombas or bombs with mustaches.
i am so so so so so so getting this when i get my 3ds as my first 3ds game
YES!!!!!!!
@Feld0
Actually I think Mario Sports Mix was the game Martinet was talking about.
As for Paper Mario, I'd love a cameo of the Pixls as well as his own partners.
I love the Pixls! Anything computery is win in my book.
at 1st I thought it was a remake because of Zelda and Starfox, but i didnt recongnize any of the screens and was like
Im so glad this is RPG I hope its a sequel to thousand year door.
I come with a warning from 10 years in the future!
Beware! This Paper Mario game is not what you have seen at E3. It will become an abomination and a shell of the RPG series you may see it as. If you defend this, that will lead to the exact same game on a second Wii console in 2016, and then by 2020, you drones will have doomed the series!
You have been warned!
